Inventor: REYNOLDS DANIEL S
IPC: F16D65/00
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: A multi-disc brake (30,60) includes a piston housing (32,62) and attached torque tube (34,64) located about an axle (67,97). Axially adjacent the piston housing (32,62) is a brake actuator (40,70). In one embodiment, the piston housing (32) is located axially between an actuator member (59A) of the brake actuator (40) and a thrust sleeve (20) located about the axle sleeve (19) and abutting a wheel sleeve (16) engaging a wheel bearing assembly (12). In another embodiment, the actuator member (89A) can extend to engage a stationary portion (91) of the axle (97). Hydraulic actuation of the brake actuator (40,70) displaces axially the actuator member (59A,89A) against either a bushing (35) of the piston housing (32) or the stationary portion (91) of the axle (97) such that at least one of the piston housing (32,62) and torque tube (34,64) are compressed operatively in the axial direction by the brake actuator, thereby reducing torsional vibrational movement of the piston housing (32,62) and torque tube (34,64) about the axle (67,97).

Abstract: A phacoemulsification needle tip of the present invention has a continuous cutting edge formed at an inner surface of a cylindrical needle shaft. The cutting edge is formed by cutting the needle shaft at an angle and beveling the exterior surface of at least the forward portion of the needle. The beveling of the exterior surface of the needle tip moves the cutting edge from an exterior diameter of the needle to an interior diameter of the needle. The needle tip having the shape of the present invention has improved cutting ability, accuracy, and threading ability which are important for phacoemulsification procedures. The needle tip is also less likely to puncture sensitive membranes of the eye during surgery. The needle tip may also include an internal beveled surface at a trailing portion of the cutting edge.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for stimulating the locomotor system and the musculature, in particular in the leg and back regions. According to the invention, in order to carry out stimulation with the lowest possible stress on the cardiac circulatory system, two tread surfaces (22) are disposed on a frame (10) and can be raised and lowered by a drive mechanism (24, 26, 28) in a push-pull oscillating manner. The basic tone of the musculature is regulated by means of the own weight of the patient standing on the tread surfaces (22) whilst the muscles are stimulated by the oscillating tread surface movement.

Abstract: An attachment device includes an elongate guide element which is manipulatable between a pulling position in which its longitudinal axis extends generally parallel to the pulling direction and an anchoring position in which its longitudinal axis extends transversely to the pulling direction. A connecting loop of flexible and implantable material is connected, or connectable, at one end to the guide element and at its other end is connectable to one end of the prosthetic ligament to be implanted. The loop is assembled from a fibre bundle of twisted yarn. Connecting apparatus are formed in the guide elements which permit the loop to be connected thereto. Connector structure is provided on the guide elements to permit lines to be connected to the element in order to pull the guide element, and a trailing implantation system connected thereto, through bone tunnels with the guide element orientated so that its longitudinal axis extends generally parallel to the pulling direction until the element emerges from the mount at one end of one of the tunnels, whereby the guide element is manipulatable by the lines so as to overlie the mouth and thereby anchor one end of the implantation system.

Abstract: In vehicle spraying booths (1), air is supplied to and discharged from the inner chamber (1a) by an air feeding device. The air supplied is conditioned so that its temperature lies in a desired temperature range and air pollution limit values can be ensured for a person working in the inner chamber (1). A displacement device (10) with a vehicle receiving region that can be moved in at least one direction of displacement in the spraying booth (1) is arranged in the spraying booth (1). This reduces the required booth width to the sum of the width required for working and the width of the vehicle being sprayed, and the required booth length to the length of the vehicle being treated. In order to direct air between the air feeding device (20) and desired areas of the chamber, at least two air supply regions (21b, 23b; 21b', 23b') in communication with ducts (21-23) of the air feeding device (20) and provided with closable openings (18) into the inner chamber (1a) are located in at least one horizontal chamber delimiting region. The openings (18) open into uniformly distributed areas of the chamber. Openings (18) of each air supply zone (21b, 23b; 21b', 23b') are located in each area of the chamber, and thus each area of the chamber can communicate with each air supply zone (21b, 23b; 21b', 23b'). The smaller size of the booth and the directed air currents make it possible to reduce fresh air throughput and the energy required to heat the fresh air.

Abstract: Cette fermeture amovible, promotionnelle et à compartiment interne (10) se compose d'un bouchon en matière plastique (14) présentant une paroi supérieure circulaire ainsi qu'une jupe annulaire partant de cette paroi. On a placé une doublure circulaire et élastique (36) dans le bouchon, laquelle présente un élément de rétention (106) s'étendant à partir de la doublure. On a également placé, dans ce bouchon, un compartiment amovible (12) sur lequel s'emboîte l'élément de rétention. Le compartiment délimite une région intérieure conçue pour recevoir des éléments promotionnels, tels qu'un élément de jeu promotionnel, et il est conçu pour se détacher du bouchon après que celui-ci ait été ôté du contenant. On peut placer une capsule scellée (58), laquelle s'étend au-dessus du compartiment et le ferme, afin d'isoler ce dernier du contenu placé dans le contenant. On utilise la fermeture promotionnelle conjointement avec une fermeture promotionnelle simulée, cette dernière étant agencée de manière à ne pas pouvoir se distinguer du bouchon de fermeture promotionnel. Dans ce système de jeu promotionnel, il existe une pluralité de fermetures promotionnelles, simulées ou réelles, et chaque contenant de ce système comprend l'une ou l'autre de ces fermetures. Des acheteurs de la boisson non alcoolisée comprenant la fermeture promotionnelle réelle sont récompensés immédiatement, dès l'ouverture du contenant et du compartiment, par réception de l'élément promotionnel, sur place. Des acheteurs de la boisson non alcoolisée comprenant la fermeture promotionnelle simulée peuvent se consoler par la lecture d'un message apparaissant dans la fermeture simulée, du type 'désolés, essayez à nouveau'.
